About
Octave
<
language> A high-level
interactive language by John W. Eaton, with help from many others, like
MATLAB, primarily intended for numerical computations. Octave provides a convenient
command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically.
Octave can do arithmetic for
real and
complex scalars and
matrices, solve sets of nonlinear algebraic equations, integrate functions over finite and infinite intervals, and integrate systems of ordinary differential and differential-algebraic equations.
Octave has been compiled and tested with
g++ and libg++ on a
SPARCstation 2 running
SunOS 4.1.2, an
IBM RS/6000 running
AIX 3.2.5,
DEC Alpha systems running
OSF/1 1.3 and 3.0, a
DECstation 5000/240 running
Ultrix 4.2a, and
Intel 486 systems running
Linux. It should work on most other
Unix systems with
g++ and libg++.
Octave is distributed under the
GNU General Public License. It requires
gnuplot, a
C++ compiler and
Fortran compiler or
f2c translator.
Latest version: 2.0.16 (released 2000-01-30), as of 2000-06-26.
